Katie Sherman, the new Executive Director of the Gorham Business Exchange, was our guest and speaker on September 13. Katie grew up on August, graduating from Cony High School and UMA. She moved to southern Maine in 2009 and is currently Operations Manager at Knight Property Services.
 
The Gorham Business Exchange's mission is to be an advocate for local businesses to enhance the community in which we live. They are a non-profit organization serving the Gorham, Maine area and will be celebrating their 20th Anniversary in 2017. They periodically hold after-hours events and are hoping to make the organization more family friendly while expanding their community base.

GBE has an upcoming fundraiser on Saturday October 15. The Cornhole Invitational is a fun, family-friendly event.  A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Maine. In addition to signing up teams, who will compete in the bean bag toss, there are sponsorship opportunities for businesses - $250 per board to sponsor a game board.  Details at:  http://www.gorhambusiness.org/cornhole-tournament
